Liesl is playing basketball again for her middle school team -- the season started in December with practices, and now she has one-two games per week along with two practices. She's grown a lot taller since last bball season! Still super scrappy and fierce on defense, though. It's been fun to watch them.
The team played in a tournament this MLK day weekend; four games over three days. Unfortunately, of their 9 rostered players, they lost two to injury, one to a volleyball tournament, and two to other basketball teams (club teams play at the same time as school teams, and some girls play on both). So they had to play with just four players for the first game; they forfeited the second game; four players again for the third game, and then finally with five for the final matchup. That's a lot of minutes constantly running up and down the court without any breaks. Liesl was pretty tired. They lost all of the games but kept their composure, kept scoring baskets and getting back on defense.
